Studying a double degree combination of Bachelor of Creative Arts and Bachelor of International Studies offers a vibrant and progressive approach to learning. UOW connects hands-on studio production with critical reflection, and practice-based subjects with theoretical analysis in study areas including creative writing, music, visual arts and design. You will be encouraged to undertake work experience and internships in the cultural and creative industries to help prepare you for the global workplace.

The Bachelor of Creative Arts prepares you to become part of the creative industries, one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. International Studies is the analysis, appreciation and understanding of the diversity of the global community. It examines the relationships of politics, society, culture, language, and history in a range of countries.

In Australia, over 600,000 people create a living from working in film, television and radio as well as pod and webcasting; writing and editing; recording and performing; advertising and marketing; visual arts, design and architecture; as well as in museums (art and science), galleries, theatres and arts organisations. An understanding of the creative arts in tandem with International Studies has the potential to enable graduates to understand themselves as cultural diplomats, whether seeking to enhance socio-cultural cooperation, strengthen relationships, or promote national interests and international understanding.
